So after reading the tread about checking and adjusting the tps i'm left a little confused.
The Throttle Sensor responds to the accelerator pedal movement. This sensor is a kind of potentiometer which transforms the Throttle Valve position into output voltage, and emits the voltage signal to the ECU. In addition, the sensor detects the opening and closing speed of the Throttle Valve and feeds the voltage signal to the ECU.
Idle position of the Throttle Valve is determined by the ECU receiving the signal from the Throttle Sensor. This system is called "Soft Idle Switch" and controls engine operation such as fuel cut. On the other hand, "Hard Idle Switch", which is built into the Throttle Sensor unit on the A/T equipped models, is not used for engine control.
This leads me to believe I should get a throttle sensor from a 5 speed, as my A/T version isn't doing what it should post conversion?

They are the same. The only diff, is the auto tps has closed throttle and wot for the trans computer that controls kick down. If you have idle issues get a manual trans ecu.
